In 2003 Jim purchased a Neve 8016 from a broker in London. The Neve was in bad shape, so electronics wiz Garry Creiman was drafted to rebuild it. During the rebuild, the Neve’s serial number was discovered written in pencil on the inside of the armrest of the console – #A41. This dated the console to 1969-1970 and marked it as the 41st console made by Neve. With this in mind, and knowing that the broker was going to sell the console for parts, the often-frustrating rebuild became a restoration project. Spoon’s Gimme Fiction was tracked on the Neve at Public Hi-Fi.
